Hello Sandra :)
I'm glad that you are taking advice and giving yourself chance to recharge and recuperate. I'm sure that you are being well looked after, please try to enjoy the rest, as alien as it probably is to you to sit back and rest!
With love, Debra x

Hi, Debra, thank you. I had to give in to Graham and my sons, after all I've been through, it was either that or end up back in hospital. I hate being old!! Enjoy your youth, my friend. Love and hugs, Sandra xxx

One of the hardest things to do is to allow ourselves to 'take a break' I think -- you take all the time you need, my precious pal -- we will be here waiting for you, and I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, Sandra. You are close to my heart you know. Truly. There are a few friends I feel that way about, though it's hard to know this way I guess, especially since I am negligent about keeping in touch!!!
Get well, and stay that way!
Love,
Deborah Dawn

Thank you, my dear friend. I value you as a friend, and thank you for being mine. I'll get better, I just have to realise I was very ill and must take it easy for a while. Love you lots, my friend. Sandra xxx

Hi Sandra,

Well, you have to take care of yourself first. If I was in your family, I'd confiscate the computer and put it under lock and key! lol

We do have a tendency to just keep going and not acknowledge the fact we're not well until it's too late, so take it easy and rest up!

I'm not going to read your words out to Graham, he might just do that! lol. I am not going to do any writing, I can't. My brain isn't functioning at the moment. I know I've been very ill, and I know it's up to me to help my body get better.

Thank you, Gareth, I promise I'm going to do that. Warm hugs, Sandra xxx

Hi Sandra You main concern is you and so it should be. Writing books can wait ( and we will) so make sure you rest up and get better. You have many fans here on FS who will be thinking of you and keeping you in mind, so just get well soon (or when your body feels ready) Health is paramount over anything
Cheers and a hug Chris xx

Thank you, Chris, that's so nice of you, and I know you're right. I'll be resting up now, and not doing anything that might stress me out. I've never felt like this before and don't like it. Thanks for being such a nice friend. Love and hugs, Sandra xx

Update appreciated. It's understandable to be wiped flat out after such a serious illness compounded by more of same. Take as long as you need--we'll be here.

Maybe a sixth star will help a tiny bit. I hope so.
The rest should certainly help.
I'm okay with the writing, but my goodness at the reviews it takes to afford to post! Too much stress!!!!!!!
Best wishes.

That is the problem, isn't it. All the pumps we need. I have to rest now, or I'll be back in hospital and I don't want that. I'm sure that star has given me a lift. Thank you, Wayne, I really appreciate your kind, caring words. Love and hugs, Sandra xx

I am so sorry you have been so ill. Doing anything but writing might be part of a cure to free your mind from the feeling that you have to do something. Relax, read (not Fanstory), let someone else prepare meals, and sleep extra. Being free to do nothing is amazing therapy. God bless you with good health through the rest of 2023

Thank you, Carol. I think all your advise is spot on and I'm going to follow it. My hubby is a great chef so he won't mind cooking my meals. Thanks my friend. Sandra xx

Aw, bless your heart, my dear friend. I do tend to think I'm better health wise than I am. This time I can't argue with my family or my body. I need to rest up. Thank you for being so kind and caring. Love and hugs. Sandra xx

Aw, what a nice thing to say. It all makes me want to do as I'm told, rest, and get better so I can start writing soon. Thank you for being so encouraging, my friend. Warm hugs, Sandra xx

Hello Sandra,
Quiet time is good time. Sometimes quiet music helps soothe
or watching an old movie or a walk on a hopefully warm day.
You have to take care of yourself first. Listen to your smart husband.
The human body can do marvelous thing, if we help it along.
Best wishes, my friend.
Robert

Thank you, Robert. I'll be helping my body recover from now on. I've lost the battle to keep going, but will win this new one and get fit again. Warm hugs, my friend. Sandra xx

Thank you, Robert. I'm going to rest up and listen to my 'smart' husband. Lol. He does worry and I know he's right. This time I will take the time to rest. Thanks for you kind words, my friend. Love and hugs, Sandra xxx
